The tapings for season 39 of Austin City Limits may be well under way, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still revel in the great times from season 38 – and what better way to remember the incredible line up than owning one (or all!) of the limited edition signed band posters.

To kick off the KLRU June fundraising drive, we have organized an eBay auction of signed, limited edition band posters from ACL’s season 38 – the auction will be up until June 13, so bid now and bid often to get your favorite performer’s poster into your personal collection.

Also available in the auction is an original poster signed by ALL artists at the KLRU All Star Celebration featuring The Dixie Chicks, Courtyard Hounds, Natalie Maines & Ben Harper in a tribute to Lloyd Maines with special guests Joe Ely, Bruce Robison & Kelly Willis, Terry Allen, Carolyn Wonderland & Terri Hendrix.

Posters currently available for bids

KLRU is so proud to have been a part of Amplify Austin, the first ever community-wide day of online philanthropy, raising $2.8 million for over 300 Central Texas nonprofits! We’d like to extend a special thanks to those of you that participated and donated to KLRU, helping us raise over $12,000 from over 100 donors in just 24 hours. Your gift provides this community with 24 hours of educational, entertaining, and inspirational programming both on air and online. KLRU, KLRU-Q, Create and V-Me combined add up to 35,040 hours of programming a year, giving all Central Texans the chance to explore new ideas, new worlds and new possibilities. Thank you for supporting what was a great day of giving for KLRU and a phenomenal day of giving for the Austin community.

KLRU helps you explore, learn, and do more. When you donate to KLRU, your gift is much more than financial support, it’s the gift of discovery to everyone in your community.

During this pledge drive we have a special opportunity for fans of Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Wayne Dyer will be in Austin for the I Can Do It Conference on Saturday, March 23rd at Bass Concert Hall. For your donation of $150, we’ll thank you with one (1) Saturday conference pass, the day Wayne Dyer gives the keynote lecture. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy sessions all day and evening with professionals who discuss what it takes to live an incredible life – no matter what!

The Saturday line up at the I Can Do It Conference is below – and here’s where you go to make your donation for a one-day pass:

We also have a very limited number of two-day passes at the $300 level (available only when you call 1-866-910-KLRU). Sunday, March 24 features another familiar face, Dr. Robert Holden from the special airing this March, Shift Happens!
